Is there any way in python while iterating through a collection to get the current counter numeric value?

Question

I know that I can set up an integer before the loop and increment it together with the loop. But is there another way?

Answer 1

Just enumerate() the iterable:

for index, obj in enumerate(objects):
    print index

(The name object is a built-in type. To avoid shadowing this name, I renamed the loop variable to obj.)

Answer 2

You can use enumerate

for counter, obj in emumerate(objects):
    print counter
